Different country, this is a Dutch tradition. As a Dutch man, this shit is racist as hell and they know it. Anyone who still adores black Pete or dons the blackface is a racist motherfucker.

White Santa Claus = good and brings presents

Black Peter = evil and punishes the kids

Netherlands colonised africa.

It has always been racist, there's just no direct proof for it.

These days after protests, they claim it's grime, so they don't paint their faces in black anymore but put some smut on it.

Oh lord 😭😭😭
